    Slow draining bathroom sink
    Hello,

    I have had a problem with my bathroom sink draining slowly for a long time. I just recenlty put in a new vanity and sink and changed the trap but I only ran a small electrician snake down the copper pipe to stack. I was wondering maybe I shoud use a bigger snake. My toilet and tub drain fine.

    If you replaced the trap and lateral pipe most clogs should be gone completely. If your drain still runs slow then you need a 1/4" or even a 1/2" snake. The clog is in the first 4-6 feet.

    Thanks for the advice I used a larger snake and the sink drains great can run water all day and no backup.

    Thanks
